Veneers FAQ

How do you place veneers?

Veneers are thin shells of tooth-colored material that are custom-made to fit your unique teeth. First, we prepare the teeth by filing off a small amount of enamel where the veneer will be placed. We then bond the veneers to the front surface of these teeth using a special light and make sure they are properly attached. Finally, we’ll check your bite and make any final adjustments.

What exactly can veneers fix?

Veneers can solve many aesthetic issues. They can cover up discolored teeth to give them a pearly white shine. They can conceal chips, wear, and unevenness. They can also close up gaps between teeth. We can even lengthen teeth with veneers!

How long do veneers last?

Veneers are meant to be a long-lasting option. They can last you between 10 and 20 years. To help preserve your veneers for as long as possible, keep up a healthy oral hygiene routine that includes brushing twice a day, flossing regularly, and visiting the dentist twice a year. You can also protect your teeth by wearing a mouthguard if you play sports and a nightguard if you grind your teeth at night.
